Small valance

[Louise]

Have been asked to make a valance for a small window in an en suite. I am planning to make it with double pinch pleats and cannot decide on how many pleats to make, and whether they should be smaller as the whole setting is small? - window 86cm wide and 120cm drop, no returns. I thought the valance should be around 25cm total drop.

I am wondering whether 6 spaces of 14.3cm would be appropriate? (6 pleats approx. the same size)

I would say that was fine, any more pleasts would be a bit fussy I think

Hi there,
I would probably make it 20cms deep,but only because thats 1/6 of the total drop, of course there may be reasons why you cant do that..
